The White House
Starting on January 10, 2017, our office will be temporarily unable to process any White House Tour requests. This is a standard delay which occurs at the beginning of any new presidential administration. Once the incoming administration has established their public tour system and provided us notification, we will resume processing requests from constituents. We regret any inconvenience and hope to accommodate you once a new tour system has been set up.
